friends , dato and tansri,
on the day when all and sundry were waiting for numero uno to announce the date for the 14th general election, when the many substantive raayat's grouses will be once and for all addressed, instead we have the 'not at all great and surprising 'news that an old 'fart' is returning to his old lousy and foul smelling den.
this same old 'fart' who some 15 years ago was proclaimed world wide to have carried a couple of million rm in a brief case in australia but relieved of his guilt of money laundering in a foreign land on the premise that he can be excused he did not understand proper english and thus was free to rob and launder money as much as he like and to where.
what he was going to do with that bagful of ringgit did not fire any imagination with our local attorney general of that time.
let alone from where he got it.
that was the depravity we as a nation already were wallowing even 15 years ago.
dr m was numero uno at that time!

malaysia, was known as 'boleh land', translated as 'everything can do one' with the proviso one is well connected politically.
not, 15 years later not much has changed.
in fact things has gone from worse to worst.
the degree of depravity in 'boleh land' seemed to be a bottomless pit .and why not?
from top to bottom , the machineries of ' boleh land ' are inundated by over glorified water carriers and sycophants bidding each and everyone to be the best of the worst.
from time expired and function expired cabinet ministers, to attorney generals, other 'generals', editors and general of editors ,right down to the lowly ' clerks' and 'general chief clerks ' manning the counters at the various ministries.
most , except for a few have lost their raison de' tre and meaning of their functions and existence.
from my humble opinion and perspective, many have even lost even their 'ugama', in favour of 'cari makan'.
the raayat are now itching for the next general election so that 'justice and the order of law' and some degree of dignity can be restored to 'boleh land'.
some idealists, like me, even are nursing a dream that we can put a few on the top behind bars permanently for the rest of the meaningless lives.
but i am a pragmatist.
i doubt this can happen.
the malays are nature's gentlemen, according to old winstedt, and thus even in the event that ge14 go on to the required result, the new power that be would string up some form of 'save waterface' manuerve.
we are famous for that.
in fact we are world champion at that.
this being the case, i pray to allah that,
' ya allah ya rabbi, letak kan lah mereka2 ini di maqam yang setimpal dengan kerja2 mereka didunia ini.
dan jika didalam ilmu mu yang menjangkau penilikan hamba2 yang serba berkurangan dan lemah ini adalah, mereka2 ini hanyalah sebagai satu bala kepada saya bangsa yang telah lemah dari segi ugama dan sa'siah, bagikan lah kepada kami , sabr dan riddha menempuh dugaan mu....amin, ya rabbi alamin! "

More convincing if it happens in this world!
......................................................................................................................
if it does not happen in this world it is because our muslim -malay world has for centuries become corrupted and irreligious.
part of which is due to our very feudal character.
partly also due to our pseudoreligiousity....being malay means we accept carbuncles warts and all readily......that is in our genetic makeup.
dont blame that on islam
belum apa2 lagi a malay will start with ;
sembah patik harap di ampun......blah blah blah, when
'your excellency' would have sufficed.
in a time when all ' his excellencies' were all upright in characters, things would have been better but when they are also feeding in the same trough as patik2, a new class of patik2 would share power and status.
perhaps dato, you and me , we would not live long enough to see any movement towards the better in our lifetime.
there seemed to be a ganging up of the selected patik2 and the excellencies todate to maintain the status quo.

The combination of these two traits results in superstition and low public ethics.
There is no 21st Century concern here for high ethics in public life, no drive for modern education (we still go for non-rational Tafiz schools and madrassas; we are reminded of them from time to time by tragic fires and loss of young lives), no passion for rational, scientific, and technological excellece...
The real reason is this: we are caught in an old mind-warp. Not because of no religion.
If it is "because of no religion" how is that 25 secular societies (including Japan, Taiwan, Finland, Denmark, Norway, Sweden, Switzerland, and Singapore) have such honest and efficient governance, excellent schools (no madrassas where children die in fires from time to time), very low drugs, crime, and sex abuse?
I have made these points many times in the past, but you ignored them. Don't you think educated Malays like you have a role in analysing the problem with modern pragmatism in your blog?
But l don't think you can. Your mind is cast in an old mould, that of a dakwah, a proselytiser. Not that of a reformer.
A real pity. There are so many smart Malays from Kelantan and Kedah.
.............................................................................................................
we have roles to play dato, specialize roles.
what are you doing?
you and your very quiet generations of ex ksn, ksu, a whole load of ts and datuk sris warming their..ses......why are you guys soooo silent and so comfortable.......guys who meet over lunch in lake club, with fine wine to follow and lament about the good old days in britain and your foreign adventures and misadventures under the guise of foreign service.
what is tsming doing apart from minting money?
what is my good friends, che heng and the maurauding oil baron, nadzru azahari,doing?
what is everyone doing?
i have two prof in my family who are 100 % behind ntr......that speaks a lot about the volumes of what remained to be done.
i am just an observer of life on this planet, albeit a 'noisy' one,
i know my limitation and skill.
what are you more talented, more 'collected' and more connected individuals doing!!!???
apart from lamenting in limited private circles in muted voices lest numero uno knows!

nik howk,
quote: "what is tsming doing apart from minting money ”
is that a question or is it an accusation?
well, if you must know, i do plenty of some, none of others. i try to leverage on the gifts that Allah has granted me, making the best of them, and try to touch as many who can benefit from those gifts or are in need to be touched. I do not do things I am not equipped to do, and leave those to others who feel they can. we shall leave at that, for the good the right hand does, the left does not need to know.
from time to time, i still read your posts. but too often find your ranting and railing tiresome. it reminded me of the slightly loopy or seriously unhinged street characters of our youth in kota bharu. particularly one who used to walk the streets and shout at school buses ‘medeko, apo medeko?’. you remember the fellow - who went by the name 'tok awae'? there may have been something profoundly wise and deeply insightful in his observation and message about the false promise of independence and nationhood. (with the benefit of 20/20 hindsight and current evidence, you could make the argument that he was a man ahead of his time - prescient and prophetic). but going about the way he did, nobody could have taken him seriously, and none did.
nikhowk, i fear unless you start responding to legitimate arguments (such as posed by dato hamzah) and construct the foundation of your message with clarity as opposed to resorting to broad generalisations and broadsides, you may be risk not being taken seriously. and that would be a shame.
salam and regards, azmi.

alhamdullillah,
before your bp hits the roof and you get a sub arachnoid bleed up there in your brain, do cool down my dear ts!
at least we know our beloved tsming is still very much alive and kicking!
alhamdullillah.
if i have to invoke some 'generalization bordering accusation' to get to hear some 'pearls and gem' from tsming i will do so, even if, he deemed it as an uncalled for and unkind remark.
that ts ming is not important..it is a matter of perspective.
apart from lamenting in limited private circles in muted voices, lest numero uno knows!
yes i mean it,
i am not apologising.
what are you guys doing apart from some,lamenting in a few private circles, in lake club for example, in between lunch and in between heavy doses of dom perignon!
what is g25 doing?
what are the rest of us doing?
our national press is next to nothing
[ http://drnikisahak.blogspot.my/2011/07/bersihbersihbersihbersihbersihbersihber_11.html ]
our judiciary is nothing to shout about and yet one ex cj recently came out with his memoir.
i have the displeasure of meeting his publisher just yesterday in my clinic, she lamented that 'doc, it is not selling, i rugi banyak!! '
'what to sell madam...the memoirs of the last 3 to 4 cj's ...there is nothing to read about...they are no salleh abbas.....they are just over glorified water carriers....at least i cried after reading salleh abbas, 'mayday for justice' , not that we have great cj's as far as i can recollect' "
we cannot depend on the press, our justice system has been so so and tainted etc etc and etc....
the minimum our 'bijak and pandai ' can make is at least a lot of animal noise rather than keeping mump!
numero uno is a politician....he and his close coterie of friends look out for all these 'noises', then act.
in any civilise soceity apart from malaysia, this kind of excessess would see them behind bars for life
in japan, it is straight harakiri...no two ways about it.
shame on all of us!
we are not doing enough!!
sorry ts, we are all not doing enough
otherwise the carbuncle and wart in the room would have long disappeared
......and by the way , i take your 'tok awae' thing in this soo soo quiet 21 st century in malaysia, coming from you ts, as a compliment!
after that f.u in 2011 from nothing less than the supremo of malaysian mega media apparatus, 'tok awae' from tsming is a superb compliment!
one need to be in a state of a ' tok awae 'nowadays to be above this 'madding crowd' and maintain one's sanity, rather than quietly accepting substandard, corrupt and self serving governance as a norm !
